Hello,
While preparing my pull request from ARM to mainline, I've tried a merge of u-boot-arm/master and u-boot/master and had to solve a few non-trivial conflicts due to the kbuild stuff.
I wonder how I should proceed now. Should I simply submit the PR and warn Tom that conflicts will arise, and indicate how I solved them? I'd do (and I've done) that for trivial cases, but for non-trivial changes it seems error-prone.
Plus, I have already performed the resolutions, so why waster Tom's time? I could forward u-boot-arm/master to the merge commit, then submit a fast-forward PR to u-boot/master.
But then, the changes I did will remain un-reviewed or maybe even unnoticed.
I also thought I could treat this as a normal patch and submit it to the ML... Only git won't generate a "patch" for merge commits, and I don't know how patchwork will react to this.
So... any advice?
Amicalement,
